PEN/HEMINGWAY AWARD
The late Mary Hemingway, a member of PEN, founded the award in 1976 both to honor the memory of her husband, Ernest Hemingway, and to recognize distinguished first books of show more fiction. The award is funded by the Hemingway Family, the Hemingway Foundation & Society, and PEN New England. Major support is also provided by Mary & Kurt Cerulli.

All competition honorees receive Ucross Residency Fellowships at the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming, a retreat for artists and writers. A panel of three distinguished fiction writers selects the winner. show less
